About this property

Rapid River Retreat, Spacious Cozy Cottage close to Torch Lake,

  • Escape to Northern Michigan and Experience the Best of Every Season!

    Whether you're craving sun-soaked summer days at the beach, vibrant fall colors with crisp evenings by the fire, or thrilling winter adventures like snowmobiling, skiing, and snowshoeing, our spacious cottage on the peaceful Rapid River is the perfect year-round getaway.

    This charming 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat sits on over an acre of land, offering plenty of space to relax, play, and reconnect with nature. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail on the large deck or relax riverside on our dock. Unwind at night under the stars around the fire pit while roasting the perfect s'more.

    Just minutes from Torch Lake and the Torch River boat launch, you're perfectly positioned to explore all that Northern Michigan has to offer. Visit nearby wineries, take scenic fall color tours, go fishing, or hit the slopes. Our cottage is just a short drive from Traverse City, Bellaire, Alden, and Elk Rapids.

    With a cozy cottage feel and plenty of room for families or groups, you'll love everything our home has to offer! Plus, we're pet friendly so your furry friends are welcome, too!
